FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized bythe Concrete Reinforcement Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
The standard was first published in 1961 and subsequently revised in 1966, 1979 and 1985. In its second revisionof 1979, the title of the standard was modified to ‘Specification for cold-worked steel high strength deformed bars
for concrete reinforcement’.
In the third revision, IS 1139:1966 ‘Specification for hot rolled mild steel, medium tensile steel and high yieldstrength steel deformed bars for concrete reinforcement’ was merged in the standard and the title was modified to‘Specification for high strength deformed steel bars and wires for concrete reinforcement’. The restriction to coldworking was removed in this revision and the manufacturers were allowed to resort to other routes to attain high
strength.
High strength deformed bars and wires for concrete reinforcement are being produced in the country for many
years by cold twisting and by controlled cooling and micro-alloying. A brief note on controlled cooling process is
given in Annex A for information only. In the past few years there has been increasing demand for higher strengthgrades with higher elongation for various applications. This revision has been taken up to incorporate variouschanges found necessary as a result of experience gained and technological advances made in the field of steel barsand wires manufacturing, This revision incorporates the properties of high strength deformed steel bars and wires,
and it is left to the manufacturer to adopt any process to satisfy the performance requirements.
Following are some of the important modifications incorporated in this revision:
a) A new strength grade Fe 600 has been introduced.
b) Two categories based on elongation for each grade except Fe 600 have been introduced.
c) A new parameter ‘percentage total elongation at maximum force’ has been introduced.
d) Nominal sizes have been rationalized and nominal sizes 7 rnnL 18 rnq 22 rnrQ 45 mm and 50 mm havebeen removed.
In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to international coordination among the standards
and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country.
The following test methods given in this standard correspond to those given in 1S0 Standards:
SI Title IS No. 1S0 No.
NO,
i) Mechanical testing of metals — Tensile testing 1608 6892
ii) Methods for bend test 1599 7438 and 15630-1
iii) Method for re-bend test for metallic wires and bars 1786 15630-1
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance withIS 2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained inthe rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT —SPECIFICATION
(Fourth Revision)
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements of deformedsteel bars and wires for use as reinforcement in concrete,
in the following strength grades:
a) Fe415, Fe415D;
b) Fe 500, Fe 500D;
c) Fe 550, Fe 550D; and
d) Fe 600.

2 ‘he letter D following the strength grade indicates the categorywth same specified minimum 0.2 percent proof stress/yield stress
but with enhanced specified minimum percentage elongation.
1.2 ibis standard ailows the chemical composition and
carbon equivalent to be limited so that the material canbe readily welded by conventional welding procedures.
Material not conforming to these Iimits is generallydifficuh to weld for which special care and precautionswill have to be exercised.
1.3 This standard applies to hot-rolled steel without
subsequent treatment, or to hot-rolled steel with
controlled cooling and tempering and to cold-workedsteel. The production process is at the discretion of themanufacturer.
1.4 This standard also applies to reinforcing bars andwires supplied in coil form but the requirements of this
Indian Standard apply to the straightened product.
1.5 Tiik standard AU applies to reinforcing bars aridwwes which maybe subsequently coated.
1.6 Deformed bars produced by re-rolling finishedproducts such as plates and rails (virgin or used or scrap),or by rolling material for which the metallurgical history
is not fully documented or not known, are not acceptableas per this Indian Standard.

ANNEX A
(Forewor~INFORMATION ON CONTROLLED COOLING PROCESS
A-1 The processing of reinforcing steel is usuallythrough one or combination of processes which mayinclude hot rolling after microalloying, hot rollingfollowed by controlled cooling (TMT process) and hot
rolling followed by cold work.
Heat treatment is a thermal process undergone by thesteel in the solid state, The most common practice isfinishing online heat treatment while rolling, commonly
known as therrnomechanical treatment (TMT) process.After leaving the last stand of the rolling mill, the barsare quenched (rapidly cooled) in water from a finalrolling temperature of about 950°C. The quenching ispartial, only until a surface layer has been transformed
from austenite (a steel phase stable only at very hightemperatures] to martensite (stabie at temperaturesbelow 350°C). This controlled quenching is achieved
in one or more online water cooling devices throughwhich the steel passes at a very high speed beforereaching the cooling bed!
Because the quenching is only partial, a part of theoriginal, heat remains in the core of the steel and, on thecooling bed, this heat migrates towards the surface. Thisresults in an automatic self-tempering process where
the surface layer of martensite is tempered; this‘tempering temperature’ (or equalization temperature)refers to the maximum temperature attained by the bar
surface after quenching. Tempering enables a partialdifiusion efcarbon out of the extremely brittle but strong...—.4 . .. . ..- --1: -..: —.- .I. - :-1- --_+ “A,...,--- 1-..1.-,3Illdl LGI1>llC, tkd~ lG1lG V1ll~ WC 11111~1~111 >L1G3>G> lUbliCU
in during the sudden quenching of the red-hot steel incold water. The resulting tempered-martensite showsimproved deformability compared to the as-quenched
martensite.
The core of the heat treated reinforcing bars fwires
consist of ferrite and perlite – more ductile but lessstrong than the martensite. Computerized process
control is used to dynamically adjust the many rapidlychanging parameters depending on the chemicalcomposition of the steel, the desired grade and size ofthe reinforcing bar/wire etc. For the larger diameters,
small addition of microalloys is usual.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to determine if aparticular reinforcing barhire, or lot, has undergone
prop& heat treatment or is only a mild steel deformed
bar. Because the two cannot be distinguished visually,the following field test may be used for purposes of
identification. A small piece (about 12 mm long). canbe cut and the transverse face lightly ground flat on
progressively Freer emery papers up to ‘O’ size. Thesample can be macroetched with nital (5 percent nitricacid in alcohol) at ambient temperature for a few secondswhich should then reveal a darker annular region
corresponding to martensite/bainite microstructure anda lighter core region. However, this test is not to beregarded as a criterion for rejection. The material
conforming to the requirements of this standard forchemical and physical properties shall be considered---.--.-L1-&W~LWIC.
